Velcro tiel wants to be on my head all the time

Hi all

Just wanted to share... I have a Senegal parrot who seems to have a weird obsession with my head and hair as well. He started doing this right after I got him.

It is quite annoying especially when she decides that she does not want to be taken off from there. It happens less now since each time she climbs up I would move my head quickly so that she loses her balance and lands back on my shoulder. So now she learned that it is easier just to tangle herself between my long hair. Haha apparently according to my husband this is the sweetest thing ever. The bird between and in my hair.

Yeah, I've decided this is just a bird thing....I guess your head is just the highest point. Scout's gradually getting better....or I am....hard to say which. I've just resigned myself to moving him from my head to my shoulder (saying 'shoulder') about fifty million times a day. What has improved is that he won't fly straight back up to my head now, he'll stay on my shoulder until the next time he flies off and then comes back to me. Also I'm quick to put my hand up above my head when he's flying toward me and he's getting good at landing on my hand now, with the flight recall training, whereas he would have avoided it and found a way to my head a few weeks ago.
I'm just glad he's not one of the big guys!
